Nemesis
A nemesis can be a pain in the ass when you’re a real estate tycoon, but it can also be a wonderful source of inspiration. When your nemesis is tall and handsome, and equally ruthless, that rivalry can fuel genius ideas that are full of innovation and originality.
Blair knows this dynamic all too well. With just a few finishing touches needed on her new development project, she jets away to Aruba for some much needed solace. When Chad Kingsley, her long time nemesis competes with her for a taxi at the island airport, her hopes for a relaxing vacation suddenly vanish.
As each day passes, secrets are revealed, and these rivals learn a little about what makes the other so good at what they do. Can these two moguls put aside their differences long enough to enjoy the sun, sand, and surf of this exotic island destination?

About the author
Cara Addison
32 books160 followersBorn and raised in Southern Ontario, Cara Addison has used drive, tenacity, ambition, and out-of-the-box thinking to ascend the Canadian corporate ladder to shatter the proverbial glass ceiling. As the CEO of a government firm, Cara prefers to be out in the trenches, working to provide solutions rather than sitting behind a desk. Over her fifteen-year career, Cara has given back to her community, supporting her philanthropic interests as she provides strategic governance on numerous boards of directors.
While Cara loves to succeed in her work, it was an impromptu challenge to herself that led her to sit down one day and write a piece of fiction that was worthy of publication. Being an avid daydreamer since childhood, she transferred her own wit and humor to the narrative and dialogue of the characters that resided in her imagination. Words poured onto the page and within weeks, she had a full-length novel with characters, events, and situations that were influenced by the people and places in her everyday life.
In typical fashion, Cara found herself submitting ‘Passion, Power, and Privilege‘ to a publisher just thirty days after Kate Callahan and Bradley Taylor materialized in her imagination. Having boldly submitted her first manuscript she began writing another while balancing the demands of work and a young family. Remarkably, Cara has managed to juggle her career, motherhood, and the creative process of writing. In the past twelve months, this literary newcomer has written and published a total five full-length novels. According to this prolific author, a sixth is in the works.
As the mother of two young daughters, Cara involves her girls as she indulges in outdoor adventures, shares her love of new travel destinations, tends to the backyard vegetable patch, and uses those fresh ingredients in her everyday cooking.
With a growing catalogue of novels, Cara uses her social media savvy to engage and interact with readers. Her playful, clever, and sometimes naughty banter resonates with male and female readers alike.
Cara’s novels include:
Passion, Power, and Privilege
Going The Distance
The Fortuitous Pen [Sequel to Going The Distance]
Every Second Weekend
Loans Lust and Lies

Fun, flirty, sexy read. Perfect for the beach or for a snowy winter night dreaming of a beach vacation. The writing is tight and the story flows well. The chemistry is electric between Blair and Chad, can enemies enjoy an island retreat and not rip each other to shreds? They certainly have the magnetism to give it a shot.
